On Chinese Gordon’s monument in St. Paul’s Cathedral, proud
England has inscribed this epitaph, “Who at all times and
everywhere gave his strength to the weak, his substance to the
poor, his sympathy to the suffering, and his heart to God.”
Well may old England gather young England about the monument
of her dead hero who gave Jesus Christ supremacy over both
life and relations. Henry George and Cardinal Manning were
talking together. “I love men because Jesus loved them,” said
the Cardinal. “And I love Jesus because he loved men,” was Mr.
George’s quick reply. It does not matter which way you go to
it, only that you do actually go to the real love of men. This
kind of Christianity is not outgrown; this kind has not yet been
tried.--WM. F. MCDOWELL, “Student Volunteer Movement,”
1906.
